When learning how to play guitar, one of the things that we deal with that other instruments don’t, is the amount of possible fingerings for any given scale on the fretboard. There are dozens of different ways to play any scale, in the same octave, on the neck, making it tough sometimes to decide which fingering is best for any given person and any given scale.
